Abstract

The concept of wellbeing has blossomed in recent years. While discussion of wellbeing has a longer lineage in economics, it is now a popular area of concern in cultural studies. The subject has seen special focus on mental and physical health, but also cultural identity, sense of belonging, and in emotional and spiritual connections to tangible or intangible heritage. Because the values-based application of wellbeing strengthens the argument for people-centred approaches and community empowerment, some museums are increasingly integrating the concept to justify their purpose and set their objectives within their administration and collections care. This article aims to analyse the scope and meaning of wellbeing as mobilised in four cultural institutions located in New Zealand and Scotland given that each country has committed to having a wellbeing policy framework at the national level.

摘要

近年来，幸福的概念蓬勃发展。虽然关于幸福的讨论在经济学中有着更长的渊源，但它现在是文化研究中一个受欢迎的关注领域。该主题特别关注身心健康，但也关注文化认同、归属感以及与有形或无形遗产的情感和精神联系。由于基于价值观的福祉应用加强了以人为本的方法和社区赋权的论点，一些博物馆越来越多地整合这一概念，以证明其目的是合理的，并在其管理和收藏管理中设定目标。
